Starting Over [Book 2]

~25~

Astrid is sitting on her bed, still trying to comprehend what had happened between her and Hiccup. She couldn't believe that what she said had hurt him that much that he would break things off with her. But she believes she deserves it for saying what she did.

She hears the door open then close, and Ruffnut comes into view.

"Astrid?" Astrid looks up at her. "Are you okay? I heard what happened with you and Hiccup."

"Yea. I'm fine... I think. I just can't believe I said that to him."

"Just give him time. He is having a rough time." Ruffnut says, sitting down on the bed beside me. "After these next few days, try talking to him. I may not have spent time with him when we were kids, considering that he forgave his dad, I am positive he will forgive you."

*0*0*

It was a week and a half since Hiccup broke up with Astrid. She did what Ruffnut said. She gave Hiccup space and today, she was going to try talking to him. She hopes he will listen.

She walks to his dorm and knocks. She hears irregular footsteps and knows right away that it is Hiccup. Then she starts getting nervous. 

The door opens and she sees Hiccup standing there. He looks surprised to see her there.

"Oh... um... hey Astrid." Astrid smiles. Even after everything that happened, Hiccup is still his awkward self.

"Hey... I was wondering if we could talk."

"Um... sure..."

"Okay... c'mon." 

"What?"

"We are going to talk and walk."

"Oh... okay." He gets his key to his dorm, and shuts the door after putting on his right sneaker.

They walk around campus and Astrid leads them to a bench. She sits down and motions for Hiccup to do so as well. He sits across from her.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry... again."

"Astrid.. I told you... it's not what you said, it was the fact that you didn't trust me."

"Yes Hiccup, I know and I'm sorry. I'm not asking for us to get back together. I want us to be friends."

Hiccup looks to the side and takes a deep breath. He looks down at his hands then back up at Astrid. She stares into the hurt green eyes. "Okay." From that one word, Astrid feels a huge weight being lifted off her shoulders. She smiles at Hiccup. He blushes and looks down at his hands. But Astrid is sure that she caught him smiling.

Ello.

Sorry for the long wait.

I swear I have a problem...

I have over 400 books in my library...

I am trying to get through most of them but when I feel like looking for more, I do that.

So I won't be updating as  uch until I get though a good amount. 

But a lot of them have less then 3 chapters...

So...

Bye Chikas!
